Game is crashing ALL the time

[Rossaak']

I have just bought the game (couple of days ago). I've been playing for around 12 hours with probably 20+ crashes...

usually i can be in the game for about 1 hour before it crashes, other times 15 min.
Error message "We're sorry, something went wrong".
It seems this error has been for a long time by reading the disussions here.

I must say it's really frustrating when you have been fighting with a fish for some time just to crash just before the catch.

Can you please look deeper into this issue and fix it once and for all? I've tried different settings, but dosn't seem to help. I've also set my max framerate in Nvidia to 120 to match my screen.

Thanks.

Try verifying game files.
In Steam, right click on the game, select properties, go to local files tab and press verify integrity of game files.

Verifying doesn't always help with the majority of crashes. The game is just poorly optimized, and crashes a LOT for a lot of people (where most other games DON'T on the same systems).

While it's certainly something to try (why not), verifying rarely helps much in most cases.

Tried that a few times, but didn't work sadly. But thanks for the feedback!
managed to get it solved now (i think). Disabled multiplayer a couple of days ago, and no crashes so far.

Indeed. Solved it by disabling multiplayer. No crashes after i did it a couple of days ago. Still bad FPS and lags, especially while driving, so yes, poorly optimized.

Been a clown show since launch, don't forget to grab the DLC.

Tech support promptly got back to me. Game is now working. It would appear that even though the system check told me I had the latest Graphics Drivers it turns out I didn't. My drivers dated back to 2022 somehow. Since resolved downloading latest drivers from Nvidia site directly
I suggest if you are having issues following instructions on - They are prompt and helpful
